Are there any gains in performance using this carb? Also will this carb allow me to run an electric choke (I think I read that it would)? Seems like that might help when I start the motor up.
I used a Weber 32/36 on my truck at one point and although it got great gas mileage for awhile something went wrong with it and it then ran terrible. I eventually got a Edelbrock 1403 500cfm carb and it has way more power and not much worse mileage.
